Naturally, I’m not the “beachy vacation” type. I’m more of a sneakers-to-cobblestone kind of girl. For years, I avoided beaches altogether—what was the point? Staring at an endless expanse of water, confined to a hotel? No thanks—or so I thought. I often joke with my older sister, calling her The Ambassador of Mexico because, at every opportunity, she’s jetting off to lounge at a resort there. But not just any resort… Secrets.
I used to overlook the value of rest and relaxation on vacation—until I discovered Secrets Resorts. While I love my whirlwind overseas escapades, I often leave those trips feeling like I need a vacation *after* the vacation. Once finally back home, I’m immediately back to the grind of every day life, which is draining not only physically, but mentally too.
In the U.S., it feels like rest is almost taboo. The constant race to achieve and do more leaves little room for wellness and self-care. Recently, I started asking myself: what’s stopping me from unplugging and recharging? I had no logical answer. So, curious about what I was missing, I stepped out of my comfort zone and tagged along with my sister and a few friends to see what all the hype about Secrets Resorts was really about… and now, I’m ruined!
I’ll admit it—I’m a Secrets snob. Ever since that first trip, my only resort experiences have been with Secrets. Just like that, I’ve become an unapologetic “beachy vacation” kind of girl. So, what makes Secrets so special? Let’s start with the staff. I’ve visited multiple locations, and every single encounter with the team has been exceptional. Their kindness and eagerness to make your experience unforgettable shine through in everything they do.
Next, the ambiance. I’m big on aesthetics and am always on the lookout for the perfect spot to snap a pretty picture. Secrets Resorts delivers stunning views, whether from the suits or communal areas. The entire property is impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and exudes a touch of luxury at every turn.
Then there’s the entertainment. Honestly, you never even have to leave the resort! Each location typically provides a schedule packed with daily events to keep you entertained from morning to night. One location I stayed at even had a little on-site club—and let me tell you, we had a time that night!
Now for me personally, what truly sets Secrets apart is the food! I love to eat—point blank, period. Living in Atlanta, I spend a lot of time exploring restaurants with cuisines from all over the world. What I love most about Secrets is how accessible and diverse the dining options are. The resort offers authentic flavors from various cuisines—France, Japan, Italy, and more. Even better, they’re incredibly accommodating to dietary needs. My sister is vegan, and I’ve seen the chef personally come out to present dishes crafted specifically for her. That level of care and attention is unmatched.
If you’re looking for a fun, luxurious, and all-encompassing getaway, Secrets is truly a step above the rest. I’ll keep shouting it from the rooftops: The Secret’s Out—Secrets Resort is the ultimate choice, every single time!
